Description

This project constitutes the support from the Government of Germany to effect the merger of CIFOR and ICRAF.
The projects aimed to provide the necessary knowledge products and knowledge services to achieve greater land health, reduced deforestation, more integrated landscape investments, and better functioning of global tree commodity value chains through enhanced institutional viability of two complementary and newly merged international organizations. A second aim of the project was to deliver a large project for integrated landscape work, Resilient Landscapes.

Resilient Landscapes is an inclusive and cross-sectoral project. It partners and integrates the work of CIFOR-ICRAF and others across the research-development-policy-investment spectrum. Resilient Landscapes has three purposes:
1. To support better connection and synergy among landscape and land-use initiatives and actors.
2. To better connect CGIAR through CIFOR-ICRAF to new partners and constituencies.
3. To attract new revenue streams to landscape-level work with private sector (tree crop value chains, forestry, land restoration) and private investors (impact investors, blended finance, nature-based solutions).
